The Trump administration asserts Venezuela is significantly involved in sending cocaine to the United States, fueling a major drug crisis.
Experts, however, dispute the extent of Venezuela's role in the drug trade, questioning the administration's claims.
The U.S. Navy's increased presence near Venezuela and a recent military strike target alleged drug shipments, creating international concern.
While Venezuela's involvement in cocaine trafficking is undeniable, its precise role and Maduro's connection remain contentious issues.
